Thought this would be a good place to share and exchange thinkers you admire.
I'll start with a few.
Karen Straughn: A professed Men's Rights Activist and critic of feminism. She helped me understand that as a man we face issues that need to be addressed too and how this is possible despite men currently and historically being in charge of society. I appreciate how she looks at gender issues through an evolutionary psychological lens. She is also one of the rare feminists critics I see incorporate neoteny into gender politics. Although she didn't introduce me to that concept. I also admire her rough demeanor. For most of her life she was a blue collar waitress on the edge of poverty who happened to possess a high IQ.
Other honorable mentions.. within that social circle.. Allison Tieman and Hannah Wallen.
Gad Saad: An evolutionary psychologist and professor. I enjoy his defenses of evolutionarily psychology and rants about post modernism and interesting takes on Islam and Arabic culture (his Jewish family fled a Civil war in Lebanon). I also admire how even though he's an academic he isn't afraid to use colorful language and converse with people other academics view as low brow and beneath them.
Matt Dillahunty: He helped me during my dark days when I first became an atheist. While I was already an atheist ever before I ever heard of him, he did help defog my mind and help me form new perspectives in my then new atheist reality.
Other honorable mentions.. within that social circle.. Jeff Dee, Russel Glasser and Tracie Harris.
